Its been a while since I wanted to post this. New Songdo is South Korea's dream of the future. Planned 40 miles outside of Seoul this city is all about ubiquity. Blanketed with RFID, smartcards, video-conferencing and unified systems, this city dreams of being the test base for future technology, the centre of trade between US/Europe and Asia and as its site boasts, a self-sufficient city. The city is a $25 billion project, touted as the most expensive private real-estate stuff ever. Check out New Songdo's impressive website for what's to come. However, with the excitement, a word of caution. The timeline is 2014.
